Getroud met Rugby Premiere

The exclusive premier for the movie was held tonight in all its glory!  Izak Davel plays a lead role and we also loved Heinz Winckler in this one.  
Heinz also attended the premiere earlier tonight. 
Story Sinopsis
Reghart Venter (Izak Dave) is a mechanic from the wring sides of the tracks. He was a promising rugby player but lost his way. After several charges of fighting and assault he gets a final warning – pull yourself together or go to jail.
Regharts sentence is to do community service – practicing rugby with a fallen hero of the Stryders Rugby team, Fafa Beltrame (Altus Theart). “Fast Fafa” was once the fastest wing in the country en a hit among the ladies. Fafa lost his way after he and his wife Kiki (Hannah Grobler) seperated after losing their daughter. Fafa seeks his refuge in drink and in the process alienates everyone who ever cared for him.
When Reghart, unwillingly, is dragged to Potties Place (the local Stryder Rugby Team bar) by his friends he meets Lize (San-Marie Nel). For the first time in his life there is something he cannot fight against. His heart.
Through the metaphor of rugby the two broken men inadvertently helps one another to find their way again.
